The party stands in the street just outside the alley. Sinikka just set Ysera's body on the ground as Commander Tullis and her guard arrive. Barron stands staring at the body. He had hoped to find his friends sister alive, but now can only stare at her gray lifeless body.
Commander Tullis shows up and immediately recognizes the body, "Oh my." she looks back to one of her guards and gives a few quick hand gestures. The guard runs off. She bows her normally proud head as she turns back to the party, "I will get a cart to take the body too her family." She does not ask any questions. This is different for her. In the long silence of the wait before a cart arrives, only eye contact is used as communication. As the cart approaches she turns to Bexley , Marrow , and Sinikka in turn and finally speaks to them, "Looks like we have some more trouble in our streets tonight. Thank you for finding this."
Tullis' guard gently place Ysera's body on the cart and cover it with a cloth. They quietly guide the cart and body through the streets until they reach the Song household. A guard goes to retreive Odira Song . Tullis shows her the body. Aqima comes out just as the face of Ysera is revealed. Baron moves over to comfort his friend. Some of the guard helped Odira and the Song family move the body off to prepare her for a final resting place. They would have a funeral in three days. They decide to not have a viewing as the body was so gray.
